Gospel On A String

Every Sunday at 2:00 children from La Digue, Barbancourt, and other villages around the mission meet to sing praises to God, listen to Bible stories, and do activities. Today, the "Kids Club" children were given "The Salvation Bracelet." On these bracelets were 5 different colored beads. In order, there was a black, red, white, green, and then yellow. The teacher told the children how these colors stood for something. The black represents our sin. The blood of Jesus was symbolized as the red bead. He told the children how Jesus washes away your sins and makes you clean again. The cleanliness was shown by the white bead. The green bead was to signify spiritual growth and the final bead, yellow, was to remind us of our hope in Heaven. The children were so happy to receive these bracelets and we are so thankful to the people back in the United States who took the time to make these for the Kids Club at Lifeline! What a unique way to remember the Gospel and teach these wonderful children about their hope in Jesus!
